The contract was signed by Mantas Bartuska, CEO of Lietuvos Gelezinkeliai, his deputy Karolis Sankovski and Juan Gardeazabalis Eguia, board chairman of Elecnor.
Bartuska stated that the project would create economic value of around 500 mln euros and will also help to reduce pollution.
"It is important not only for economic reasons but for ecological as well. We are reducing CO2 emissions, which is a great benefit, which exceeds 700 mln euros," Bartuska said during the signing.
The contract was signed after the other tender participant – Spain's Cobra Instalaciones Y Servicios – did not appeal by the deadline of Thursday's midnight. Transport Minister Jaroslav Narkevic allowed signing it on Thursday.
Lietuvos Gelezinkeliai plans to complete the project, which received 200 million euros in funding from the European Commission, by the end of 2023.
